Looks repainted for sure. Don't stress too much though, bumpers get refinished all the time and it is not a definite sign that there was a huge wreck or something. Best of luck getting it fixed and take it to a shop that has a satisfaction garuntee or something similar because silver is a HARD color to match and if it looks bad they should repaint it for you at your discretion.
Be upfront with them and let them know you are picky about quality and color match. If they know you are concerned they will go the extra mile to make it right.
i had issues with the clear coat peeling off my front fascia until i got it repainted. i read about a few others that have this problem. you should be able to get it painted for no more than 500. good luck.
